On February 17,
2014, at 12.30 am, Kripasindhu Purakait (age 34) and his wife, Sadhana Purakait
(age 30), living in the village of Harishpur within the jurisdiction of the
police station of Dhola in the district of 24 Paraganas (South) were attacked
by a band of robbers. It has been learnt from their account, each criminal in
the team was Muslim by religion and having lethal weapons including swords. They
barged into the residence all of a sudden and while one of them injured Kripasindhu
Purakait by a sword, two others thrashed Sadhana extremely. What took place
next was nothing save for a plunder; all materials in the household, let alone
money and jewelries, were looted and now the condition is such that they have
to seek glasses from neighbors to drink water. Prior to escape, Sadhana was
tied with her own saree to prevent her from raising any alarm. Locals apprehend
that Sadhana became victim to a brutal molestation as well. Even if a police
complaint has been filed to the local police station against this nefarious incident,
villagers are found to express their lack of confidence on police in this
regard.

What makes
villagers lose confidence on local administration? If truth be told, lots of similar harrowing
accounts can be narrated. Only a couple of weeks back, two Hindu housewives named
Mitali Halder (name changed) and Sandhya Mandal (name changed) were kidnapped
and raped by a group of Islamists. However, none has been arrested yet even if
an FIR was filed then. Police, as per locals, seem to be indisposed to find out
culprits and take them into custody. It has to be mentioned that the village
contains only 7 Hindu families and hence, their position is at stake.

And this is also
no new development as territories within Dhola police station’s jurisdiction are
known for Hindu persecution. On May 15, 2012, at
9.30 pm, Gaffar Zamadar, age 28, an Islamist residing in the neighboring
village of Koutala, was caught red-handed while trying to enter the residence
of a Hindu individual, Sri Govinda Banik, living in village of Bhasna, to rob
the entire family of all their belongings. Hindus, en masse, after getting hold
of him, thrashed him highly and Gaffar got unconscious. He was taken toKupiHospital
and he was declared dead soon.

The development created strong reactions among Islamists
inhabiting the environs and as a mark of protest, they were perceived to gherao
the police station and also block the thoroughfare. What is most striking,
Islamists were found to chant wild slogans focusing on the need of vengeance
against Hindus openly (this took place before police openly) and termed Gaffar
Zamadar as an “Imam bhai” and no thief.

Hindus were warned by
Islamists of dire consequences in public. They depended on police and administration
initially but owing to apparent disinclinations of administration, Hindus could
not muster the courage to remain in their own dwellings any more. Hindus fled
to neighboring areas for weeks while a few people, having no place to take
refuge, were guarding their residences desperately. An FIR had also been
submitted terming 61Hindus as accomplice in the death of Gaffar. Hindus
returned later on but they have lost all confidence on police by now.

Hindu Samhati regularly
monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West Bengal. We also work
with both governmental and NGO agencies for proper education on protection and
ensure remedies to the Hindu populace as per prevailing law of the land.

A panic may strike now the common Hindu people for the ongoing incidents of South Bengal for the last two months when the CPI(M), the ruling party of the state tasted a bad defeat by losing the muslim support in this region through Panchayet election. When the wining force of All India Trinamul congress (AITMC known as TMC), is considering all the prime posts for the muslim minorities in every stage of Panchayet system, the losing CPIM has already adopted the way of direct torture against hindu people out of any situation for winning the heart of muslim people and to regain the muslim support by giving various packages to the muslim minority.On June 12, 2008 one Muslim leader of CPI(M) Sk. Ismail initiated the attack upon Hindu pilgrims in Gangasagar with the help of some 3000 fanatical muslim mob. Now they have tried to capture the Gorerhat Ramakrishna Ashram Campus by attempting murder of Swami Punnyalokanandaji, the Adhyaksha (in-charge) of the religious unit at Gorerhat under Joyn…

A Serious Communal Clash took place on 9th May 2016 night in Kolkata at Dakshin Dari area near Bidhan Nagar. Mosque loudspeakers were used to mobilise the religious Muslim mob. Police force was attacked. Three police vehicles were torched.

Influential local TMC MLA Sujit Bose was severely injured, now in the hospital. In late night a very big contingent of police/RAF took control of the area.

But no arrest till now. Hindus in the geographic are scared.

The dispute was started between two groups of 'syndicates'. But quickly it turned into a communal institute.
